Can JFreeChart plot (x,y, value) data?

[iper]

Hi,
I have a dataset like this (x, y, value).
Can I use JFreechart to plot it?

For instance, in a XYScatterPlot,
draw the size or color of the node relative to the "value"?

Or any other type of chart?

Thanks for your attention.

Take a look at bubble plot. The size of a bubble is rendered acording the value.

[iper]

wow, that's fast and is a huge help .
I'll check it now.

thanks a lot!

Can I use wafermap?

Can I use wafermap?

The waferchart is highly specialized. I doubt it is designed to be customized easily and so it is not covered by demos nor guide.
You might take a look but I don't think it will do the job.

But you also might take a look at the contour plots:

You might also want to take a look at the XYBlockRenderer class in the org.jfree.experimental.chart.renderer.xy.* package (there are a few demos in org.jfree.experimental.chart.demo.* as well). I'd like to get this code polished up and transferred across to the "official" packages, so any feedback is welcome. The main thing that is missing for it right now, is an item to display a scale for the z-values.

i have tried bubblechart.
the thing is that some of the bubble is so big and overlap others.

I'll try other suggestions .

Thanks!

[iper]

yes! the ContourPlot may be just what I wanted, i'll look at it now and provide feedback

thanks!

[iper]

yes, I have done. Thanks a lot for the help!

I looked through all the APIs but couldnt find anything that could help to a 3D contour map, something that looks like a mountain (or even better, a colored mountain.)
Does JFreeChart do such 3D graphs? If not, are there any free solutions out there which can do this?

Thanks

No, JFreeChart doesn't do 3D graphs. It might someday.
You might take a look at the other open source charting libs in the FAQ.

(p.s. in the future start new threads for new questions, don't bump ancient threads)

There is a ContourPlot class that may be what you are looking for. It does not make the "mountain" view, but it does shade the point based upon the z-value. The data is stored in a ContourDataset (api linked off the ContourPlot page). I have not heavily used this class, so I do not know all the implementation details. Looking at a demo might help. I cannot point you to a specific demo since I am not at my normal computer and do not have access to the code/app.

JFreeChart mostly focuses on charts created from 2-dimensional input data. There are several exceptions including the ContourPlot. If you are looking for something like Excel's 3-dimension bar charts based on (x, y, z) ordered-triples, you will need to find another project to do these. Several do exist out there, but I cannot recommend one for you since they have various capabilities. I would recommend a Google search and see which meets your needs the best.

Hope that helps get you started,
